It is Monday morning and my teams won yesterday. So.... time for me to lace up my pads, slip on my jersey and strap on my helmet - BOOM! The 1/4 Quarterback is here yo!
So.... the environment a car lives in DOES play a part in it's well being. Ask my mates who live in England or Northern England about rust issues. And as someone else mentioned - same is true if you live by the beach in Southern California, or ask the guys in Daly City who see constant fog and moisture. I saw a Lotus Espirit rust to the bone in Daly City.... due to the environment.
And now to run my slant.... I think OP's initial post was just excessive venting. Yeah, he exaggerated QUITE A BIT - probably on the number of cars he has owned and on not being able to find tools. Harbor Freight stores pretty much carry the same kind of inventory nationwide. I have a ton of their tools in my garage - great cheap tools to have and with their warranty - it's worth the cost.
